In last month’s Nexus we announced the publishing of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that proposes changes to the financial conflict of interest regulations governing Public Health Service-funded research (which includes NIH-funded research). The notice proposes comprehensive changes to the entire set of regulations, including a focus on three areas, in particular:
- Investigators’ disclosure of information regarding significant financial interests to institutions;
- Institutions’ management of identified financial conflicts of interest and reporting to NIH and other PHS agencies;
- Public disclosure of information regarding investigator financial conflicts of interest.
Individuals and organizations are encouraged to submit comments at Regulations.gov. The comment period closes July 20, 2010.
